Problems in Cooperation with Breeders and Dog Owners on the Example of Entropion Frequency Estimation in Polish Hounds Acta Sci. Pol., Zootechnica 13 (4) 2014, 81–92 SHORT COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS IN COOPERATION WITH BREEDERS AND DOG OWNERS ON THE EXAMPLE OF ENTROPION FREQUENCY ESTIMATION IN POLISH HOUNDS Marta Ksi ˛azek,˙ Joanna Gruszczynska,´ Beata Grzegrzółka Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW, Poland Abstract. Entropion is a rolling of the eyelid inward toward the eye. It is fairly com- mon condition in a wide variety of dog breeds and its mode of inheritance is not well understood. Entropion has been also documented in the population of Polish Hounds. The current size of the population is estimated at 1000 dogs. The Polish Hound is a breed with low genetic variation and high imbalance of founder contributions to the gene pool of the present population. The first study on entropion in Polish Hounds per- formed in Poland in 2002 showed that only 29 out of 100 dogs examined were healthy. Further studies revealed that 17 out of 74 dogs had entropion. The aim of this rese- arch was to analyze the incidence of entropion in the population of Polish Hounds. In total, 158 letters were sent out to the breeders and owners of Polish Hounds to solicit medical information about the condition of dogs’ eyelids. Overall, we only obtained information on 19 dogs from 18 persons. The conclusion is that Polish Hound breeders and owners, and even the management of the Polish Hound Club are not interested in giving information about the cases of entropion and probably for economic reasons, elimination of affected animals from breeding. Lack of interest of breeders and dog owners in cooperation in this area makes the studies on tracing this defect inheritance in Polish Hounds impossible.

Ksi ˛azek˙ et al. INTRODUCTION The Polish Hound is one of the five Polish breeds of dogs. It is a breed of hun- ting dogs (FCI No 52), but the majority of representatives are used as a companion dog. The current population of Polish Hounds is estimated at 1000 animals, and is relatively highly inbred [Pyziak 2006, Głazewska˙ 2008]. The breed descended from just 21 founders, but not all founder lines are still represented in the popu- lation; only 4 female lines (out of 15) and 2 male lines (out of 6) are continued [Pyziak 2006]. The recent history of the breed began in 1959 when Piotr Kartawik brought 4 dogs (Bartek, Burzan, Zorka and Czita) from the vicinity of Nowogródek to Wrocław and established the kennel from the Eastern borderlands of Poland. A dog from his breeding stock, Obal, was used by Jerzy Dylewski in 1964 to cre- ate the breed standard. In 1964 the Polish Hound breed was recognized by FCI (FCI no 52) [Ka´zmierski 2009], and the breed standard was updated in 1980. In 1967, Kartawik’s kennel had 9 dogs, which exhibited stronger build than the pre- sent representatives of the breed. After Kartawik’s tragic death in the late 1960 his dogs went into the hands of hunters [Musiał 2013]. The next matings were improperly performed. In 1967, 42 dogs and 59 bitches were registered, but den- tition defects, atypical heads or coat colour, and excessive nervousness were quite common [Sciesi´ nski´ 2009]. The Polish Hound and Polish Hunting Dog Club was established in the late 1970s. The Introductory Registry for the Polish Hound has been kept since 1959 to 24 October 2010 in aim to enrich the gene pool of the breed. In the Introductory Registry were entered dogs judged by an international judge and with confirmed breed requirements. The actual number of Polish Hounds is not easy to determine due to the lack of a Poland-wide database, managed by the Polish Kennel Club and available to all. Another difficulty is that not all dogs from a litter are registered by the Club. However, data of the Polish Kennel Club indicate that about 530 animals were registered between 1970 and 2002 [Pyziak 2006]. The current number of hounds is estimated at 1000 and puppies are born in 10 to 20 litters per year (Polish Hound and Polish Hunting Dog Club, http://www.ogaryigoncze.pl). Between 2000 and 2012, a total of 216 litters were born. The number of dogs with stud rights varied from 60 (Polish Kennel Club, http://www.zkwp.pl) to 62 (bulletin of the Polish Hound and Polish Hunting Dog, 2012). In Poland the majority of hounds are kept in the vicinity of Warsaw, Rzeszów, Poznan,´ Kraków and Łód´z[Pyziak 2006]. The Polish Hound dogs are bred/kept in most European countries, and as far as in Canada, Mexico, Argentina, and the United States. The largest number of Polish Hounds kept abroad, around 100 is found in Germany. Entropion refers to inversion of the eyelid margin, and results from relaxa- tion of the tarsus and palpebral ligaments. This leads to chronic irritation of the Acta Sci. Pol. Problems in cooperation with breeders and dog owners. 83 eyeball and causes ulcerations, pain and lacrimation [Renwick 2007, Read and Broun 2007]. The condition has been observed in humans and also in other ani- mal species [Allbaugh and Davidson 2009, Williams and Kim 2009, Donnelly et al. 2014]. It is common to many breeds of dogs, including the Polish Hound. Entropion is a genetically determined defect with clear breed predispositions, but its mode of inheritance is complex [Gelatt 1991, Bedford 1999]. Depending on the breed, entropion is usually diagnosed before the dog reaches its first birthday. Turner [2011] reports that the condition usually occurs in dogs between 4 and 12 months of age, but in the Shar Pei the onset may be soon after the eyelids open (2–3 weeks of age). According to Barnett [1976], the first symptoms of entropion appear between a few weeks and a few months of age, sporadically later than in the first year of life. Turner [2011] reports the case of a litter of Bloodhound puppies, in which changes were observed right after the eyelids opened and the puppies needed a correction at the age of 5 weeks. Ceregrzyn [2008] reports that the condition is usually present by six months of age or between the first and se- cond year of life. According to Niemand and Suter [2003] entropion occurs during the first year of life or early in the second year. Typically, entropion is treated by surgical correction of the eyelids [Gelatt 1991]. Occurrence of entropion condition in Polish Hounds has been discussed on various message boards for many years. Łuczak [2002] showed that out of 100 of examined Polish Hounds, over 70% were affected with entropion. A later study revealed entropion in 17 out of 74 examined dogs [Balicki 2012]. Considering the seriousness of the problem, the present study was performed with the largest possible number of Polish Hounds to analyze the incidence of entropion in the population of Polish Hounds. MATERIAL AND METHODS Questionnaire survey of Polish Hound owners In order to investigate the incidence of entropion in the population of Polish Hound dogs, a total of 158 letters were sent out to breeders and owners of this breed. The owners came mainly from Poland, but also from Germany, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. The owners were asked (in their native language) to provide information if their dog has normal/abnormal eyelids and has undergone eyelid correction; this information had to be confirmed in writing by a veterinary doctor. The dog breeders and owners were also asked to send the pedigrees and photographs of their Polish Hounds. The requests were sent in July 2012 and the addresses of dog breeders and owners were obtained from exhibition catalogues. On 5 July 2012, the letter was additionally published on the Polish Hound forum Zootechnica 13 (4) 2014 84 M. Ksi ˛azek˙ et al. [http://www.ogarkowo.pl] and handed to Polish Hound breeders and owners du- ring the International Dog Show held in Warsaw between 7 and 8 July 2012. The letter was also sent to the Polish Hound and Polish Hunting Dog Club with a re- quest to provide statistical information concerning the number of dogs that were registered in the past 10 years, the number of litters born in the past 10 years, the number of dogs registered in the Introductory Registry, and the number of litters sired by the dogs from the Introductory Registry. Data analysis It was also planned to prepare a pedigree database of Polish Hound dogs using Microsoft Excel (2010). It was our intention to create the database based on the pedigrees sent by dog owners and the information from the pedigree database created by the breeders and owners, which is available at http://ogarpolski.info.pl RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Evaluation of entropion incidence in Polish Hounds The information on Polish Hounds received back from dog owners and bre- eders was scarce. No response was obtained from the Polish Hound and Polish Hunting Dog Club despite repeated requests. Overall, we obtained the data only on 19 dogs of which 4 have undergone eyelid correction. Information about one dog affected with entropion came from the owner, while the data on three dogs were provided by veterinarians. Information about eyelid condition in the other seven dogs were provided by veterinary doctors, but 2 dogs had an invalid eye examination certificate (the certificate expires after one year). The current normal condition of the eyelids was confirmed by the owners.

  • Polish Greyhound
    FEDERATION OF CYNOLOGY FOR EUROPE ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ ПО КИНОЛОГИЯ ЗА ЕВРОПА 01.10.1991/EN FCE-Standard № 10-333 POLISH GREYHOUND (Chart Polski) 2 TRANSLATION: Mrs.Peggy Davis. ORIGIN: Poland. DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE OFFICIAL VALID STANDARD: 01.10.1999. UTILIZATION: Hunting dog not only for hare, fox, roe-deer and bustard, but also for the wolf. FCЕ-CLASSIFICATION : Group 10 Sighthounds. Section 3 Short-haired Sighthounds. Without working trial. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: The presence of the Chart Polski in Poland is attested since the 13th century; this breed goes probably back to Asiatic sighthounds of Saluki type. The Borzoi being unknown before the reign of Iwan the Terrible during the XVIth century, it is impossible, as claimed by the Russian author Sabaniejew, that the Chart Polski would be the result of interbreeding between the Greyhound and the Borzoi. The mention of the Chart Polski in the literature, especially the hunt-literature, is frequent and the iconographic representations are noticeably unvarying. This uniform general appearance in drawings and paintings proves, that, in spite of different interbreeding, the original aspect of the breed has remained unchanged up to the end of the XIXth century. GENERAL APPEARANCE: The Polish Greyhound is a dog of great size, powerful, muscular, definitely stronger and less fine in shape than the other short-haired sighthounds (he must not, however, be heavy nor lethargic). In his appearance, he is similar to the Asiatic greyhound who is his ancestor. FCE-St. №10-333/01.01.1999 3 The strong frame, the short coupled body, the distinctly visible musculature and the powerful jaws show that this dog has been used for hunting in the difficult conditions of the Polish climate.

The first descriptions of hunting with greyhounds can be found in the hunting literature of the 16th century, and the first detailed description of a greyhound comes from 1600. The Polish Greyhound probably originates from the Saluki-type Asian greyhounds. The population of this breed is very small and limited mainly to the territory of its country of origin (Poland). Pedigree books were opened for this breed in 1981. The narrow gene pool necessitated mating relatives, resulting in the appearance of various genetic diseases in the breed. The analysis of Polish Greyhound pedigrees registered in the pedigree books from the time of the registration of the breed and molecular tests facilitated calculation of the degree of relatedness in the breed and to design future breeding plans, taking into account that a 2.56% Citation: Goleman, M.; Balicki, I.; increase in inbreeding per complete generation will be observed if the current breeding program and Radko, A.; Rozempolska-Ruci´nska,I.; similar matings are maintained.
